The B.Sc. Forensic Science & Biochemistry programme is an interdisciplinary dual-major undergraduate degree that combines scientific investigation with a deep understanding of the chemistry of life. It builds firm foundations in crime scene management, forensic biology, chemistry, physics and law, alongside core biochemistry areas such as biomolecules, human physiology, enzymology, metabolism, molecular biology and clinical biochemistry. Graduates are trained to apply scientific principles to criminal investigations and to develop biochemical solutions for clinical, agricultural, diagnostic and industrial applications.
Pairs core forensic disciplines with molecular life sciences, clinical biochemistry, and advanced chemical pathology.
State-of-the-art forensic and biomedical laboratories with a strong emphasis on laboratory skills, biochemical assays, and analytical thinking.
Exposure to real-time casework through workshops, internships, research projects, and expert interactions, fostering investigative and clinical skills.
An interdisciplinary dual-major curriculum pairing forensic evidence analysis with life sciences chemistry and clinical biochemistry.
